Notes:
JEMS master and excellent sounding but slightly bass heavy incomplete recording. This show captures the T-Birds touring in support of their Butt Rockin' album as an opening act for Eric Clapton. This is some grade A+ down home and dirty blues that only a master like Jimmy Vaughan could play. Stevie may have been the technically better and more well known of the Vaughan brothers on guitar but Jimmy had a better grasp on how to play the blues than Stevie ever did. This is some really tough gritty blues being played this night the type that they could never quite recreate in the studio. A light mastering was done on the audio to reduce the intensity of the bass on this recording since it was extremely bass heavy to begin with.
